The Philippines and the United States have a long history of political and military relations, but the Philippines has not formally "joined" the US as a state. After being a US territory following the Spanish-American War, the Philippines gained independence in 1946. However, the two countries maintain a mutual defense treaty and strong ties through various agreements, including military cooperation and economic partnerships.
